Weddings Halfa Century AGO.

Weddings fifty years ago were very
much as they are now. Here is a descrip-
ton from a Detroit letter half a century
old: at was a grand wedding. Pleanty
of bridesmaids, cakes and ~favors, kissing
and crying. The bride accumulated on her
person SO much inery in the shape of lace,
flowers, bonnet, veil and scarfs that she
looked as if she had put on two wedding
dresses instead of one. The bridesmaids
tried to keep her in countenance; one of my
fellow bridesmaids put her dress on wrong
side out, and no pleading on our part could
induce her to turn it, on account of the
luck, although she changed the bows that
were on it; and, it being lace, one could
hardly tell the. difference. Then, too, we
forgot to draw our cake through the ring,
and 10 our fate still rests in allegiance. As to
the cards and the gloves, you must take
them for granted, and the plum cake, too,
of which the guests carried so much away
that the whole company will have so much
to dream on that it can hardly escape
nightmare. When the feast was we'll over
we threw old shoes as usual, and the bride
and groom drove off for a few days of
HONEYMOON"

mrs usawin's Deposition

bands testimony concerning the state
Of her health was fully corroborated:
b ! have been a great sufferer for
thirty-four years from neuralgia and
female troubles. When Russell was
born WAS in grsat state OF nervous
prostration. Russell has been from
childhood subject to low spirits and
spells OF moodineJs. He was thro wn
from horse about seven years ago
and was iusensible for twenty-four
hours. Sincs then he has been sub
ject to headaches. Ia the last year he
has been much worried by the scan
dals about his sister, and his lis Of
nnoodiness have greatly increased.
This condition was intsnsifiad by
scandalous reports about his father. /
was st Monteagle In the summer OF
1885. My daughter, Mrs. Polk, roomed
with me. Russell was at Memphis.
l first became acquainted with the
Daltons in 1882 or 1888. There
was considerable Waiting be.
tween the families. When
Mr.. Dalton died, and when j. T. Dali
ton was sick We paid them whatever
attention we could. Mr.. J. T. Dalton's
visits to our house were informal.
They were considered to be made as
much 10 one person in our family as
another. 1t was almost a daily OcCu
renee for members Of the two families
TO converse from one house to another
across the alley. Mrs Polk wss In
delicate health, and went to New York
with her husband and spent come time
under the care Of DR.. Thomas. Mrs.
Polk never took q. walk with any
yonng man alone at Monteagle. She
never went out at night alone with a
young man.
Gross intenogatories-- Russell was
never treated for insanity. We first
heard the report about Ms. Polk in
January, 1885. Mrs. Polk and Dalton
frequently talked with each other from
ons hou5e TO the other, but l never
herd that the neigAbors took notice
OF it. Dalton did not seem to be happy
at home. l have reason to believe that
Russell had love affair In the fall OF
1885. My mother, Mrs. MulliD; suf-
fered greatly from neuralgia, nervous
ness and hysteria. She died OF neu-
ralgia Of the heart. My father had
neuralgia severely at times. l suffered
most from neuralgia and nervousness
during my period OF CESSATION with
Russell.

ner peculiar, 80 much 30 that
it was quite noticeable and al

and morose, and mingled little
with the company. He kept himself
apart or almost exclusively in his
mothers society. to whom he seemed
very much attached. Ihsve frequently
seen him pass his acqusintances with
out bow or sign Of recognition. He
seemed inclined to avoid them and
had little to say. He had an alb
strscted, preoccupied look as If bis
Thoughts were away from his sur
rouudings. He seemed to prefer to be
Isolated and was generally alone un-
less with his mother. l do not think
he mingled much with the young
people at the Springs. In the &C.

he seemed i'll at ease. have seen him
lying outstrstched on the benches in
the public ballroom during the morn

Doctor stated he could not do

has for the belief within him. A man
might state thing that at first would
appear absurd, but when bis reason
was given, 1t might appear very clear.
The Court, however, was firm and
held to his ruling.
The defense declined to ask any
more questions, and the witness was
then cross examined by Gen. Chal-
mers, whose question YVES only second
in length to Col. GAntt's, as follows:
Suppose q man whose grandfather
and grandmother and maternal uncle

and suppose the party himself was
moody and irritable aud at IL years OF
age was thrown from horse aud suf-
fered confusion Of the brain; suppose
that for several years after this fall the
young man was going to college, mix
ing In society, and goes into business
and transacts business just as any
ether man; suppose the young man Is
seen sometimes talking to himself in
the street, and replies 1t is stupid to a
man who says IL Is good day; sup
pose that this man believes that an-

that the slsnderer has demanded

Then, suppose that ten days there

where this slanderer was sitting;
